New Fire Station In Riverview Under Construction

BLOOMINGDALE - RIVERVIEW, FL — Construction has begun on a new fire station in the Riverview area and will be complete in 2021, said Hillsborough County Fire Rescue.

According to Hillsborough County officials, Riverview is one of the fastest growing areas in the county, and having a fire crew in this location will help decrease fire rescue response times when fires occur.

The Riverview fire station is number 46, and it has 42 personnel, including a truck company, an engine company, a rescue crew and a tanker crew. It also has four new apparatus, including a ladder truck, an engine, a tanker and a rescue truck.

Fire personnel will serve from nearby fire stations until a temporary building can be set up on site early next year.

The address of the new station is 10751 Rhodine Road.

The county’s master plan calls for 24 more fire stations, and the one in Riverview that went into operation Thursday is first of the group.
